Hello!

How are you? Thank you for your last email!

I love Christmas! My parents, my sister and I decorate the Christmas tree. Also, we decorate the house with Christmas lights. We don't decorate the garden. 

We visit our grandparents at Christmas. They live in Scotland. They don't decorate the Christmas tree. They decorate the house and the garden with Christmas lights. It's beautiful!

My granny and I bake Christmas biscuits. We love biscuits! All the family prepare the Christmas food. First, we open the Christmas crackers. They make BANG! Then, we eat roast turkey with potatoes and vegetables. Finally, we eat Christmas pudding. It's delicious!

We wear Christmas hats and jumpers. We sing carols but my grandparents don't sing. They play instruments. Finally, we open the Christmas presents!

What about you? Can you describe your Christmas traditions? What's the typical Christmas food?

Bye!

Peter
